Game of life and love

Life is a game!! sounds very philosphical doesnt it?? may be this sentence is so overly used, that it has lost its true meaning.
But, i recently refreshed my knowledge on game theory, an then as usual started thinking, whoever said this sentence must hv been a genius or drunk or both!!

In a pure game theory view, life IS a game, there are decisions to make, there are payoffs, lessons to be learnt, there are strategies to plan. But game theory can not explain the variation due to one factor "Human psyche", which is so wonderfully weird, so strange at times, so predictable sometimes. But no ones ever been able to explain it. The people who tried to explain human psyche met failure at the most gigantic hurdle we can say, that is LOVE!!

Is love really that hard to explain philosophically?? Pure love should not be difficult to explain at all, it pure illogic, pure tendency of doing things for one cause, pure madness, its not unpredictable...
However, a feeling which is not pure love, (it may be close to it) is much more difficult to explain.

In pure love, there is only one 'strategy'... that is to think about maximizing the other '"player's" payoffs... however, people lose in pure love, because its not an ESS !!!!!!!..

This is the most anti-romantic things anybody has said so far i guess... Hope my future girlfriend doesnt read this !!

Bye for now,, but i'll be back
